Control-rod, pressure and flow-induced accident and transient analysis of a direct-cycle, supercritical-pressure, light-water-cooled fast breeder reactor

Conference Kitoh, Kazuaki ; Koshizuka, Seiichi ; Oka, Yoshiaki

The features of the direct-cycle, supercritical-pressure, light-water-cooled fast breeder reactor (SCFBR) are high thermal efficiency and simple reactor system. The safety principle is basically the same as that of an LWR since it is a water-cooled reactor. Maintaining the core flow is the basic safety requirement of the reactor, since its coolant system is the one through type. The transient behaviors at control rod, pressure and flow-induced abnormalities are analyzed and presented in this paper. The results of flow-induced transients of SCFBR were reported at ICONE-3, though pressure change was neglected. The change of fuel temperature distribution is also consideredmore »« less
Flow and pressure-induced transient analysis of the supercritical-pressure, light-water-cooled and moderated reactor

Book Okano, Yasushi ; Koshizuka, Seiichi ; Oka, Yoshiaki

The supercritical-pressure, light-water-cooled and moderated reactor (SCLWR) is the thermal neutron spectrum reactor using uranium dioxide, stainless steel clad fuel and double-tube water rods for moderation. The flow and pressure-induced events should be analyzed for assessing the technical feasibility of the SCLWR, since the coolant system is the once-through type as a supercritical-pressure, fossil-fired power plants. The basic safety requirement is to maintain the flow rate. The pressure and the flow rate are detected for the safety signal. A computer code was developed to simulate the SCLWR behavior at the supercritical-pressure. The total loss of feedwater flow and feedwater pumpmore »« less
Nodal analysis of density-wave oscillations in boiling water nuclear reactors

Thesis/Dissertation Belblidia, L A

The purpose of this work is to develop a model for density-wave oscillations in boiling water reactors that offers the following features: (1) nonuniform axial power distribution; (2) nodal approach to neutronic coupling between regions of the core; (3) coupling between thermal-hydraulics and neutronics; (4) dynamics of the heater wall; and (5) hydrodynamic coupling between the channels. The solution method relies on linearization of the governing equations. The resulting system transfer function is used in combination with stability criteria of classical control theory to evaluate the stability of the system. A steady-state calculation is performed, for a typical BWR, tomore »« less
Development of NUFREQ-N, an analytical model for the stability analysis of nuclear coupled density-wave oscillations in boiling water nuclear reactors

Thesis/Dissertation Park, G C

A state-of-the-art one-dimensional thermal-hydraulic model has been developed to be used for the linear analysis of nuclear-coupled density-wave oscillations in a boiling water nuclear reactor (BWR). The model accounts for phasic slip, distributed spacers, subcooled boiling, space/time-dependent power distributions and distributed heated wall dynamics. In addition to a parallel channel stability analysis, a detailed model was derived for the BWR loop analysis of both the natural and forced circulation modes of operation. In its final form, this model constitutes a multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) linear system, which features a general nodal neutron kinetics model. Kinetics parameters for use in the kineticsmore »« less
